After a business pivot-which put local startup WeCounsel "effectively at square one"-thecloud-based, telemedicine platform has secured $3.5 million in Series A funding.
"We set out with a goal last April of executing on this revamped plan,"WeCounsel founder and CEO Harrison Tyner said Monday.
The platform, whichis a dedicated tool for behavioral health professionals and businesses, had some traction and proof of concept after starting up in 2011, Tyner said.
It launched asan online network that aimed to connect patients with mental health professionals via videoconference.
But Tyner, who is the only remaining of three initial founders, said the team was taking on too much. They were trying to build out software and, at the same time, establish a marketplace for both providers and patients.
"Access to care providers is a major hurdle for patients and families seeking behavioral health support, and WeCounsel is the leading application enabling the patient encounter via telehealth."
-Harrison Tyner
For the five-person company, that wasn't working.
"We didn't have enough capital to execute and do it justice," he said. "If we were going to make this work, we really had to focus on what was going to be the haymaker, and it was clear that we needed to focus on building great software."
So the team changed from focusing on a marketplace where clients could connect with mental health professionals to building a software as a service model.
The company's technology facilitates virtual interactions and clinical workflow management between the health professional and the patient in a secure, HIPAA-compliant, easy-to-use application.
Through the software, users get a cloudtelemedicine suite that has secure video and end-to-end practice management tools, such as scheduling, document sharing and billing. It also has other capabilities and advanced workflow solutions designed for virtual patient engagement, according to a news release.
There are two lines of products, one for private practice individuals and one for "enterprise" customers, which would generally be bigger organizations.
The product lines offer different administration capabilities and workflow options, depending on the customer's size and needs.
Although the product is different, Tyner said the company's mission never changed. The team has always been committed to increasing access to mental health care through technology, he said.
"We found a more effective way to do it through our current model," he said.
WeCounsel currently has hundreds of providers using the business' software to consult in thousands of sessions each month, Tyner said.
A group of health care and technology fundsled by Longmeadow Capital Partners,Point Judith Capital and CVH Holdings are co-investing in WeCounsel to accelerate growth and continue product enhancement.
The investors were impressed with what WeCounsel has been able to do with limited resources. For example, WeCounsel has attracted industry-leading companies such asInSight Telepsychiatry and R3 Continuumto its telemedicine software solution.
Point Judith Capital Managing Partner David Martirano said that his group has found that existing telehealth solutions are not tailored to the behavioral health market, and that has hindered adoption.
ButWeCounsel's custom solutionprovides mental health professionals with the tools they need for convenient and effective client engagement, he said.
"We recognize that the demand for behavioral health treatment is outpacing the supply of practitioners, leading to an acute shortage of mental health services," Martirano said in a prepared statement. "We continue to be impressed byWeCounsel's technologyand itsabilitytopromote access to health care treatmentbyexpandingthe reach of providers to reduce this deficit."
The funding will allow WeCounsel to expand its team.
"We are going to grow the team to at least 12 [from five] in the next eight weeks, and the majority of jobs will be in Chattanooga," Tyner said.
Tyner is looking to establish a sales department-so far, all the company's sales have been inbound-and to increase business development and marketing.
WeCounsel is looking to add sales, marketing and customer support positions, as well as a quality assurance software head.
Anyone interested in the positions can email Tyner at[email protected].Clickhereandherefor positions that are currently open.
The grind
Tyner started WeCounsel when he was still in college, and five years later, he's still grinding away.
It hasn't been easy, but that didn't stop him.
"I've been through hell and back in a lot of ways," he said.
And part of the key to success is self-awareness and the ability to manage emotions, he said.
"There's really a drastic roller coaster of events that occur," he said. "You might be high one day and in the drags the next. [The key] is not really putting too much stock in either one."
Entrepreneurs just have to keep in the grind, he said.
"The key … is grinding, being consistent, never wavering with the faith in the product and never giving up-that's something I'd love to drive home," he said.

'Chase the Night' from Sean Taylor - packed with gutsy music(September 07, 2013)
'Gutsy music' – music with attitude and presence. Loud or soft, heavy or gentle; some music just has guts. Through vocals, instrumentation, delivery or subject, it matters not how it arrives but when it does you know it. 'Chase the Night', the latest album from Sean Taylor is packed with 'gutsy music', telling its tales as rough as they come, no dressing, no protection for those of a nervous disposition. This is deep down, blues-edged folk – it's music with meaning that cuts to the bone.
The man can play a guitar, no doubt about that. He can also craft a sharp composition, again no question. Sean also writes finely honed lyrics that possess a savage stinging edge delivered with the precision of a surgeon's scalpel. Add equally incisive, susurrated and spoken vocals and you have an album worthy of a serious listen. The eponymous guitar-driven 'Chase the Night' opens and sets out Sean's stall of insistent songs to take your attention, and like 'Biddy Mulligans' that follows, he lays out his view of the world he inhabits, with all that entails. As I said, this is 'music with meaning'.
Reflecting on relationship is a recurring theme. The pains of hard love through 'Love Bleeds' lays funky harmonica cuts over an intoxicating beat with lyrics that pull no punches – "Just a Cain without an Abel or a cross without a nail …". By contrast, 'The Road' shows a more mellow but equally poignant examination of relationship, and the gentle observation of 'Save Me' with its luscious melody hooks immediately. Closing with a spoken homage to the Thames and its surrounding city, and not to be taken lightly, 'River' is a tough, poetic reflection.
With 'Chase the Night', Sean has built on the promise of his earlier work, especially 'Love Against Death'. If you haven't come across his music before I suggest you do and if you have then 'Chase the Night' will not disappoint.
You can find Sean Taylor here: www.seantaylorsongs.com and 'Chase the Night' releases on 23rd September 2013.

If you were to ask people who are in their college or just out of the college, about their career dreams, a good number of them would choose anything ranging from engineering to medicine to physical sciences to arts. Only a handful will perhaps want to be an insurance claims adjuster. However, times are changing now. With people increasingly becoming aware of the enormous earning potential of public adjusters, it is now a lucrative career option that many people are choosing.
How much should you pay your public adjuster? It is a fact that many insurance claims adjusters make over a $1000 per day. These are not exaggerated figures, for this is what an experienced insurance claims adjuster earns on an average on many days. Now, these are figures that you would usually equate with the earnings of a leading doctor or a marketing manager. While this may seem unbelievable to you, this is the fact, as proven by public adjuster Myrtle Beach, SC.
An Public Adjuster is a insurance claim advocate who represents the policy-holder for negotiating accurate insurance settlement. They work with good faith on a contingency basis under the insurance policy. Public Adjuster exclusively works for the client, not for the insurance company. They help in managing, filing and adjusting insurance claims.
For Public Adjusters, educational requirements significantly differ; it depends on the post and the employer. In general, a bachelor's degree is enough to be Public Adjuster. Particularly, Public Adjuster is a great profession in the insurance sector for those who look for a better opportunity for a career.
If the policy-holders dissatisfy with their insurance companies claims settlement, they the company might call out a Public Adjuster to present a second opinion on the damage value. And in this case, the public adjuster works on behalf of policy-holders, against insurance companies. They have a tendency to get competitive recompense.
Responsibilities and Duties of Public Adjuster: * Review all claim and policy information; examine all data for policy-holder and make sure applicable coverage of individual. * Conduct interviews of claimants, insured and witnesses then inspect loss sites with documents, photography and audiovisual recording. * Collect all statements from policy-holder, physicians, and attorneys and check out all essentials for policy contracts.
* Examine and prepare statements for claims and settlements and update on recommending changes to all claims. * Manage and settle all claims efficiently and inform all policy-holders for any denial on claims.
* Work together with team leader and attorneys to arrange all cases for trials and trace all reports of witnesses and contribute in all claim file for review and audits.
* Preserve records of all settlements and resolve all issues in claim processes to decrease the risks in claims processes and decide the coverage of insurance
* Negotiation of the claim settlements
* Administer and hand out all incoming mails and start research on all claim numbers and operate all automated computer systems.
Whether it is claimed for residential, condominiums, warehouses, boats, apartment complexes, business, restaurants, franchises, cars, or any other property insurance claim, Public Adjusters usually handle all types of claims. With the help of Public Adjusters, policy-holder may successfully receive more a settlement than receiving without the assistance of a Public Adjuster. Overall, Insurance Public Adjuster plays a clearly-defined role to expedite claim settlements.

Whether you own a new or old truck, you want to make sure it runs strong for a long time and doesn't fall apart from the inside out before its time. This is one reason why it's a good idea to consider installing certain interior auto accessories, such as liners to protect your truck's floors from everyday wear and tear. If you don't currently use floor liners or mats, you've probably noticed that the flooring is ripped, rubbed smooth or covered with dirt. Floor liners are fantastic additions to any truck, because not only are they functional, they're also an affordable and simple way to boost the look of the interior.
Luckily for you, there are truck liners in Owensboro, KY made specifically for safeguarding your vehicle's flooring. But with more than one option for materials and fit, which should you get? Let's look at the difference between the two most common varieties: rubber liners and carpet mats.
Rubber liners
Also called all-weather floor mats, rubber liners are typically made of durable rubber materials that can stand up against heavy use from feet, paws and objects. But you have to make sure you are buying high-quality liners to avoid wasting your money and ruining your truck's original flooring. Poor quality mats will get destroyed quickly and can even be dangerous if one malfunctions while under a driver's feet. To put it simply, the goal of rubber truck floor liners is to protect your vehicle's flooring.
Furthermore, most liner manufactures produce their products with element-specific or year-round features to ensure safety and functionality; customization is also available. In other words, liners have raised ridges to direct water, mud and melting snow away from under your feet, while keeping liquids contained in the ridges. This keeps you feet dry, protected and slip-free.
To clean your rubber floor liners, all you have to do is remove them from your truck and spray them down with a hose. Super dirty mats can be washed with soapy water. Check that all debris has been cleared away before drying.
Carpet mats
If you want to spend less money on floor protectors, then check out carpet floor mats. These are the types of mats you get when you buy a new car at a dealership. Carpet mats are available in universal and custom fits; they can even match the carpet to the original flooring material and color. But unlike rubber liners, carpet mats will absorb any moisture that touches them. Therefore, while they do keep your shoes dry, water does not collect in ridges for easy disposal later.
The best way to clean carpet mats is to treat them similarly to household carpets. Vacuum them often and clean them with an approved carpet cleaner on occasion. Take care of your mats so they look great and last for a long time.
If you are in the market for a new set of truck liners in Owensboro, KY to protect your auto flooring, look no further than Auto Vizion Auto Glass & Restyling. We've got all the vehicle accessories and upgrades you want and need!

With the addition of spin classes and instructors, I thought it would be beneficial to list a number of tips to setting up your bike, discuss proper body position, and the most efficient pedaling techniques.
If your bike isn't set up for you – you will feel it the next day. This is important to prevent injury but a proper fit will allow you to utilize the right muscles to get the most power in each pedal. The more comfortable you feel, the more you can enjoy the ride and maximize on the workout.
1. Arrive 10 minutes early – many parts on a spin bike can be adjusted, and if this is your first class, it may take a couple modifications to get the right fit for you. Arrive early so you are not scrambling right before the class starts resulting in an uncomfortable ride.
2. Seat Height – The general rule is to stand beside the bike and line-up the top of the seat with your hip-bone. When you hop on your bike you will have a minor bend when the pedal is at 6 o'clock (aka closest to the floor).
3. Seat to handlebar – to find the perfect fit, place your forearm with fingers extended between the saddle and handlebars. If your hand doesn't reach the handlebars, your saddle needs to move forward until they touch.
To ensure you have the right fit, place your feet at 3 and 9 o'clock on the pedals. Your knee of the front leg should be directly above the start of your toes. If your knee bends past your toes, or is behind your ankle, the seat should be adjusted again.
4. Pedal Straps – it is important that your feet are secure on the pedals, either clipped in or strapped into the cages. If you are using the cages, ideally the straps should be properly laces in. To tighten, simply pull up on the end of the strap. If it does not tighten, please ask the instructor to help properly set up the straps.
5. Handlebar Height – depends more on comfort. Placing the bars lower will put you in a more aggressive position, similar to a road bike. Most Blitz'ers have found that raising the bars (mimicking a mountain bike) is helpful for push-ups and other out of the seat drills you will experience.
Now that your bike is setup, let's make sure you have proper body alignment (don't overthink it – we will probably cue these things 100 times in class)
1. Shoulders are down and relaxed.
2. Abdominals are engaged to help support the back and keep your body in control and balanced.
3. Elbows are slightly bend and in-line with hands and shoulders.
4. Knees are pointing straight forward.
5. Feet are flat, pushing down on the pedals as if you are wiping mud off of them. It is important not only to push down on the pedals but also pull up (now that your feet are strapped in tight). Keep your pedal rotations smooth, which involves activating your glutes, hamstrings, calves, and quadriceps muscles.
You are all set! Have fun, find the beat of the music, and bring 110%!

Love it
Shirt runs lose and big. Not she's about the reviews saying it runs small. I'm 5'7 180 and I bought an Xlarge. It's very loose and flowy on me. Could've purchased a medium. Very cute and comfy.
I bought the large and it fits and length is perfect. I'm 5'2
Read the reviews before ordering. Since most said it ran small for a large, I bought the large and it fits and length is perfect. I'm 5'2 ,106 lbs. Its very comfortable and moves nicely.Glad I read the reviews.
Have a wife, girlfriend, or boyfriend that enjoys wearing dresses? Then buy this dress. My wife looks super hot in this. So much so that I have a hard time going out with her in it because I have a tendency to forget about where I'm at and simply end up with my hands all over her.

Great dress !!

Just too tight for me and too short otherwise it is a nice dress.

Didn't realize it was in large so it's pretty big on me (I'm typically a XS, S) but the fabric is very nice quality and shipping was only 10 days. Ill be able to make it work just fine because it's so light weight that i can easily layer it

Adorable & comfortable!
I was worried from the pictures that this would be too short for me. I am 5'9" and have a problem finding dresses that aren't more like long shirts. To my surprise this fit excellent! I ordered a medium to be safe and it's a little large but I am a size two so that might be why. The colors are vivid and really cool! Looking forward to wearing this all summer and maybe ordering it in a few other designs.
I love this shirt
I love this shirt! It's thin but I love the color. I bought the red one as well but the maroon is my favorite

it's much more than just dopamine

i've always found it fascinating
yet i sit here
watching big bang theory reruns
and drinking diet iced tea
the aspartame can't get to me anymore
and when the stars hit me through the dusty beige window?
they hit my soul and not my mind.
i don't even have a mind anymore.
so i'll dye my hair blonde again
and watch tv like usual
and not care at all
because I never did
i'll say goodbye to concrete and streets
for waves and highways
but my heart is craving my cave & essays
a metaphor, of course
for a word
i will
i will be miserable at best
and dream of west coast futures
and reckless pasts of all of us, there.
because I will always miss something that I cannot touch
(It's not mine, but I want it.)
so that must prove to me
the essence
the immortality
the faith
is all about you
and I can't type.
We stand here

I just want to cry for hours
You're The One Who Knows

text: So I've been out of the Wii scene for awhile and just recently tried to install a wad. Maybe it's just the wad, but I get a 002 error when trying to run it. I've searched some topics like patching the wad and updating/downgrading IOS's but perhaps I didn't do those things right. I'm on 4.1U and I believe the wad was originally released in 2009. Anyone know what the issue might be? Guess I could always inject games if all else fails.

If you want to read about happy, dancing elves go to a library and check out a book about happy dancing elves. If you want to listen to K8 humorously complain about random shit then, be my guest, and read on...
a) I hate blah.
Blah can be any of the following:
- bored, bored, bored. I am NOT meant to be a SAHM (even though I want to be). I literally want to poke my eyes out in boredom.I think that is mostly because being a SAHM means brokedome for k8. I don't understand how women rely on their husbands for money. It drives me crazy. I need that control.
- dreary. I very much hate this time of the year in Texas. It is dreary for about one month (shut up Northerners). The worst part is that it is 75 degrees and dreary. I need sun.
- Alone. I am the happiest, friendliest loner you've ever met. I LOVE people and I ADORE kids but I am a Gemini. I need my alone time. It is important to me. I no longer have that.
- blah can also be scrubbing tubs, sinks, and potties, watching Kathy Lee and that other women, listening to you ipod because you can't handle another round of the meatball song, and realizing that it's 3pm and you aren't at the job you love, but rather still in your jammies which are now covered in Little O's lunch kisses.
- and it is raining. I hate rain. and snow. and anything between rain and snow.
- lots of people are rude. All of us are rude at some point, even if by accident or distraction, i get that. But, if you see a 100 lb girl trying to lift a 43 lb wiggling 3yo up and into a shopping cart for the LOVE OF GOD HELP HER OUT! Just FYI. Also, do not ask her to move out of your way and do NOT ask her where she got her shoes because your daughter might like a pair. I am capable of murder. Don't push me.
- Despite, my current leave of absence from work thanks to points on my license I am very anal about doing the speed limit (read: I have a Monster in the car with me). So, to that lady in the ghetto car on Blake Manor road, nearly running me off the road in order to get to the Dollar Store 3 seconds before me, please go get a life.
- I have this amazing super power. I kid you not. It is amazing. Amazingly annoying! I manage to park next to a puddle, step into it without looking, and then go shopping with one soaking wet ankle every stinking time. I even manage to do this in the worst Texas drought in years. I do this at the grocery, at work, at the gas station, and probably when I make it to Mars, I'll do it there as well. Dear puddle, I used to love splashing in you in the alley behind 806 Main now you cause me squish my way through the market.
- I also hate another kind of puddle. I call this the j-pud (read: juice puddle). This phenomenon occurs when the Monster has decided that he is done with his sippy cup. Depending on his level of tired one of two things occur. A) He chucks the sippy cup in some random direction that even the laws of physics cannot predict. There was one in curtains yesterday. It took me a solid 5 minutes to figure out why the floor and curtains were leaking an apple-ish scent. The other scenario is B) he shakes the sippy cup upside down as he walks to either the sink, the trash can, or the potty and throws it "in da twash".
I am sure if I try I can come up with some more things to complain about but I think ya'll's poor noggins are full of enough of my complaining. So, go forth avoid puddles, be super fabby rather than blah, and smack super rude people. Tell them K8 sent you.

BRIDGET L. (Tukina) XANDER
After an extended illness, Bridget L. (Tukina) Xander, 88 of Mt. Lebanon, formerly of Bell Acres and North Ft. Myers, FL died peacefully on Tuesday, December 12, 2017. She was the mother of Richard A. Xander, Jr. (Valerie) of Moon Township, Karen M. Xander of Castle Shannon, and Brian K. Xander (Barbara). She was preceded in death by her husband of 48 years, Richard A. Xander Sr., her parents, Michael and Pauline Tukina, and her sister, Mary Byrnes. Born September 9, 1929 near Trencin, Czechoslovakia, she emigrated at age 6 to New York City with her mother and sister and were met by her father who emigrated in 1929. She grew up in Palmerton, PA where she attended Sacred Heart School from 1935-43. She graduated from Stephen S. Palmer High School in 1947. She always wanted to be a nurse and worked as a nurse's aide at Palmerton Hospital before enrolling in the Palmerton Hospital School of Nursing, earning her R.N. in 1950. She married her handsome pilot, Dick Xander in 1952 and moved with him to Kinston, NC where he worked training pilots for the U.S. Air Force while she worked at Lenoir Memorial Hospital as a nursing supervisor. The family moved to Cleveland, Ohio when Dick took a job as a pilot with Allegheny Airlines and Bridget worked as a nurse at Fairview Park Hospital working in maternity surgery. She left work when the family moved to Pittsburgh (Bell Acres) in 1967. In addition to her children, one of her proudest accomplishments was earning a B.A. in Psychology from LaRoche College in 1980. She then returned to work as a Psych Nurse at Dixmont State Hospital. As a snowbird between Bell Acres and North Ft. Myers, she continued to enjoy travel, golf and bowling well into her 80s and was a big baseball fan. She served as Eucharistic minister at St. Therese Catholic Church in North Ft. Myers. Viewing is private. Arrangements by Warchol Funeral Home, Bridgeville. A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at St. John Capistran Catholic Church, Upper St. Clair on Friday, December 15, 2017 at 11 AM. No flowers, please.

Canadian Election 2008 Visualization
Here's a visualization of the results of Canada's recent election I've been working on.
The idea is to present the results in a way that allows you to explore in interesting ways. The data presented is pretty straightforward, with a group of coloured blobs representing the votes for each candidate in a riding.
I added one extra feature, a black ring that shows the votes for candidates other than the winner in each riding. This seemed particularly relevant for this election, where less than 38% of the popular vote went to the Conservatives yet they get to form the government.
You can explore the results:
- as an image (non interactive, but quick)
- through an applet (may not work on all browsers. I'm working on it)
- or as a downloadable application Windows, Mac or Linux
If you have suggestions, thoughts or what have you feel free to leave a comment or get in touch.

Part of Franconia Notch trail closed for repair work
Part of Franconia Notch trail closed for repair work
A section of trail in Franconia Notch State Park is closed for maintenance.
Part of the Lonesome Lake Trail is closed from Monday through July 28 while the Appalachian Mountain Club does rehabilitation and repair work. Visitors can still get to Lonesome Lake, the Lonesome Lake hut and surrounding trails via a detour that adds about a third of a mile to the hike.
The trail maintenance project is being funded in part through a grant from the Recreational Trails Program, administered by the New Hampshire Bureau of Trails.

2016 has brought us so much as new business owners. We thought about how best to close off our year and we couldn't think of a more fitting way than to send a message of love and life to our friends and family.
One of our greatest highlights of 2016, as you may guess, has been the opening of our brick and mortar store. We are so thrilled to have been blessed with the means to be able to physically take our new business to a new level in this growing industry. We have also been able to establish strong business to business relationships both within our local Junction community as well as nationally.
Our greatest lesson has been that there is merit in tough moments. Tough moments are meant for us to learn and to grow from; and we truly have. We have learned that perfection takes time; that sometimes you have to take the loss; that branding is crucial; transparency is key, and compassion is always necessary to an entrepreneur's success!
Our greatest moment has been the heartfelt reception of us by our community. The connections and conversations we've had with numerous community members and longstanding Junction patriots over the last year has been tremendous, and we could not have asked for more support or a better response than the welcoming arms we were met with when we opened our doors.
As we enter into a new year and a new chapter, we graciously accept our challenges as we know they will come. We also graciously accept all the wonderful new things that are in store (pun intended!).
Thank you 2016, and welcome 2017, we are excited to meet you! We truly look forward to sharing this new year with you. We wish you and yours all the best in life and love.
With many thanks and much love,
Stacey and Yadder

Days Of Our Lives' 12 Most Disappointing Deaths Of All Time
When a soap opera character dies, a little piece of fans' heart goes along with them. Viewers become invested in the people they see on their favorite daytime dramas, and Days of Our Lives (DOOL) fans are no exception. Whether it's because an actor has moved on to bigger or better Hollywood opportunities or it's to add another layer to a plot twist, no matter what the circumstances are, soap opera deaths can be a devastating thing to fans. Below are 12 of DOOL's most disappointing deaths of all time.
12. Arianna Hernandez
Arianna Hernandez was a character who was on DOOL for a short period of time between 2009 to 2010 but made a huge impact in Salem. As a sister to Rafe, Gabi, and Dario, as well as BFF with Melanie Jonas, Ari had tremendous roots in the little town and shared a beautiful love story with Brady Black. While storyline-wise her death did add a layer to the on-going plot, her passing was still quite disappointing to many fans.
11. Dr. Daniel Jonas
The land of soap operas has changed significantly now that the internet and social media are around. Actors can tweet about the comings and goings of their show and spoilers can sometimes ruin a plot twist for fans. Many DOOL viewers knew that Shawn Christian, the actor who portrayed Daniel Jonas, was leaving the show which meant they also wondered how his exit would play out. It was quite saddening when he was killed off. A drunk-driving accident took his life, Brady Black got his heart, and fans said goodbye to Shawn and Daniel knowing it would be hard to ever bring Christian/Jonas back in any capacity.

Watch a full video of our latest all-new show! This Science & Technology themed episode was recorded live at KPCC's Crawford Family Forum during an encore performance Saturday night.
18 Feb / Examiner Reviews Lost Moon Radio
More coverage of Episode 13, which wrapped its run at Fais Do Do this weekend, from Examiner.com.
Saturday night we wrapped our run at Fais Do Do, but we got some nice press. Check out this write-up from Los Angeles Magazine.
16 Feb / Final Night of Episode 13
It's the final night of our two-weekend run at Fais Do Do, and we're going out with a bang. At 8:30pm, check out our all-new installment of original sketch comedy and rock n' roll (Lost Moon Radio, Episode 13: Science & Technology) immediately followed by the triumphant return of the Lincoln Bedroom playing a kickass afterparty set.
It's Saturday night. Treat yourself to some jokes, reasonably priced drinks, and feel-good rock. Whatever else you were gonna do can wait till Sunday.
15 Feb / Tonight's Guest Artist: Mr Mike
Tonight's Lost Moon Radio performance is more than just a comedy show. It's a whole evening's entertainment. Watch our all-new "Science & Technology" episode, then grab a drink or two at the Fais Do Do bar and stick around for the musical stylings of singer-songwriter Mike Schadel, a.k.a. Mr. Mike. Check out his music here.
Thomas Dolby, not a real scientist
David Bowie, not a real scientist
Sting, not a real scientist
Gene Simmons, not a real scientist
Debbie Gibson, not a real scientist
Jonathan Coulton, not a real scientist (though he is a former computer programmer)
Alice Cooper, not a real scientist
Dylan Ris, not a real scientist
Musicians pretending to be scientists: it's a noble tradition, and this weekend Lost Moon Radio is pleased to be a part of it.
Question: What's the most romantic spot in Los Angeles? Answer: Tonight, it's the all-new Lost Moon Radio "Science & Technology" show at Fais Do Do. There will be comedy. There will be music. There will be a bar. Special guest DJ Nightpants is spinning ultra-sensual sets both before and after the show. Bring a date and impress him/her with your sophisticated appreciation of all the Darwin references. Or come alone and mingle with the hipster singles who share your taste for dry comedy and messy rock performed by people in labcoats. Yes, the theme is Science & Technology, but tonight … the emphasis is on chemistry.
We mean sexual chemistry. I don't know if that was clear.
13 Feb / Resolution
Resolution for this weekend's performances: no matter how fun it sounds when Mikey proposes it, we are not going to "take a shot" every time somebody says the word "science."
12 Feb / Parents Strongly Cautioned
Lost Moon Radio: Episode 13: Science & Technology is rated PG-13 for language, adult situations, brief nudity, some terrifying imagery, physician partying, and mildly suggestive puppetry.
11 Feb / Saturday night, circa 8:30

There are millions of people in the world who are using smartphones. But do you know that your smartphone contains number of bugs with various bacteria. The scientists in Pune have revealed that the smartphones which we use has lot of microbes in which few were harmful and few are human friendly. Almost every smartphone contains bugs which build their permanent houses in the smartphone without your permission and of course you don't even know that your smartphone has bugs.
The weirdest thing is our smartphones contain more microbes than on a toilet seat. The scientists have extracted more than 500 types of bacteria from over 27 smartphone devices. More than 30 fungi have also been found in these devices. The smartphones and the keyboards which we use in our daily life contain numerous bacteria.
The sweat and grime were stored in your smartphone and these will give a plenty of opportunities for the rise microbes. The researchers from Pune have collected samples from 27 different mobile users from the display screen of their smartphones and majority of the microbes which were found can mingle with humans easily and can stay for a while.
The best thing about the study is, the scientists have found three new species which were not known to the world till now. Two were bacterial species while another one is new fungi specie. The two new bacterial species were named as Lysinbacillus telephonicus and Microbacterium telephonicum while the fungi specie is given Pyrenochaeta telephoni name.

But do not worry about these microbes as you can get rid of bacteria. Clean your smartphones with a smooth cloth and keep your mobiles clean and neat all the time to avoid risk of getting microbes. Along with mobile devices you need to clean even your keyboards with cloth to remove dust and bacteria. Wash your hands before eating any food.

I've been considering gratitude a lot lately. I never used to think much about it. When we are a certain way we don't give it much of a thought. Now I notice it now and appreciate it. I really notice when someone is lacking in gratitude. Don Draper, the main character in the hit series Mad Men could be the poster boy for the absence of gratitude. He Is portrayed as one of the luckiest men on Madison Ave. yet he never acknowledges his good fortune. Lack of gratitude can make your life much emptier and unhappy. Read more

More and more, people are coming to realize that food is taking the role of an addictive substance in their life.
It can be a real challenge, since, we do need to eat, and it does have such an immediate impact on our bodies, brains and, often, emotions.

A company that began as a Baltimore corner drugstore and went on to carve out a multimillion-dollar niche selling pharmaceutical products to prisons, nursing homes and other health care institutions is being acquired by a New York company that provides medical supplies to nursing homes.
The combined company would be one of the nation's largest vendors of drugs and medical supplies in the long-term-care market, officials of the companies said.
The merger of Rombro Health Services Ltd. of Baltimore with a subsidiary of Choice Drug Systems Inc. of Inwood, N.Y., which provides nursing homes with pharmacy-related products, would create a company with $60 million in annual sales.

The Chifleys of Busby Street (Andrew Pike, 2008) is a 72-minute 'people's documentary' of Ben Chifley and his wife, Elizabeth. The film takes us to key places in Chifley's life – his home at Bathurst, other Bathurst sites associated with his political and personal experiences, his hotel room in Canberra – and we hear from nearly fifty people who have memories of him.
The film tells us about Chifley, but it also raises issues about how we know about him, the nature of evidence, especially oral evidence, and the problems caused by people's 'misremembering' events or details.
It also raises important questions about interpreting objects and heritage sites, and the ways different generations can see the same objects differently, and draw different messages and meanings from them.

After the popularity of our hair salons and receiving huge demand for Emilly Hadrill Hair Styling Services to open in our southern state of Victoria, Emilly and her hair services team travelled to Melbourne for 12 months in 2013 performing a "Pop Up hair Salon". With a wonderful client base forming we opened a small boutique hair salon which we quickly outgrew and in 2016 we opened our state of the art South Yarra hair salon on Toorak Road.
Located in South Yarra conveniently close to the Toorak train station and tram lines on chapel Street, the Melbourne hair salon is located at 61 Toorak Road. We are open offering hair services from Tuesday-Saturday including late night Thursdays.
We are a platinum level L'oreal Professional hair salon offering all aspects of hair styling services, as well as up-styling, bridal hair styling, and of course our renowned human hair extensions - with our premium Russian hair extensions and Indian hair extensions.
As part of our hair styling services, we are thrilled to offer a range of hair extensions at our Melbourne salon. This particularly includes skin weft tape hair extensions, micro bead, micro bead weft extensions and clip in hair extensions in Melbourne.
This means we have more options, and can determine which option is best for your hair type, and your lifestyle etc. We are excited to be offering these as part of our hair styling services and the opportunity to determine at your free consultation which method is best for you.
Our Remy hair skin weft extensions are made from a flat and thin seamless polyurethane strip that is applied to hair using tape. Perfect for thinning hair, adding volume and length and for simply adding highlights without chemicals.
We specialise on our application of micro bead hair extensions Melbourne and also available in our other three salons (Brisbane & Gold Coast). With this method, you can come back in every two months for maintenance which involves pushing up the hair extensions to ensure they are kept neat and putting no stress/damage on your natural hair. You can keep doing maintenance until you feel that the hair needs replacing (or removing).
Whether your hair is one tone or multi-tone Emilly Hadrill clip in extensions blend easily with any shade. Our clips hold the extension firmly in place and can be taken in or out in a matter of minutes. We offer clip in hair extensions in premium Remy Russian hair. The clip in extension sets are perfect for those who do not wish to always have hair extensions but would like longer, fuller hair for special occasions, such as weddings, formals or special events.
Micro bead weft extensions are a less noticeable and advanced version of sew in or machine weft extensions. Because of the efficiency and speed of installing and removing micro bead wefts, this is a cost-effective and high-quality product. Above all — this method is incredibly easy and comfortable to maintain.
We understand that often when the decision is made to make a change to our personal appearance, we want it now, rather than later. Thanks to our flexible payment plans with finance partner, zipPay, achieving your dream hair is made all the more affordable, with flexibility on repayments, safe and secure transactions and interest-free payment periods. They are available for all Russian hair extension services, colour and maintenance products.

Download game Angry Birds Friends Apk v2.0.0 Latest Version is here
Angry Birds Friends is the latest instalment in the Angry Birds franchise (out May 2013), that leaves aside the thematic nature of the latest games (Space, Star Wars), and returns to a more traditional setting.
The thing that makes Angry Birds Friends a worthwhile addition to the series is not birds with lightsabers or clever gravitational effects, but the chance to challenge your friends on Facebook in a series of regular tournaments proving beyond doubt who is the best bird chucker among you.
Angry Birds Friends, unlike earlier versions of the game, includes power-ups that can be used before launching the birds. Thanks to which you can have a more effective focusing system, a more powerful slingshot, or even fatter birds…
You could also try the game:
– Angry Birds Apk
– Angry Birds 2
– Angry Birds Space Premium
– Angry Birds Fight!
– Angry Birds Transformers
Another addition to 'Friends' is that you win coins by completing tournaments, which you can then use to buy the power-ups mentioned earlier. In many cases, these power-ups will be the difference between winning or losing in tournaments.
Gameplay Features:
- Tournaments with new levels every week.
- Challenge your Facebook friends for bronze, silver, and gold trophies.
- Brag, send gifts, and invite your Facebook friends to play.
- Four classic power-ups, plus one exclusive to Angry Birds Friends on mobile.
- Daily rewards.
- Free bird-coins just for completing the tutorial.
- Syncs automatically with your game on Facebook.
Angry Birds Friends Apk is, like most games in the series, a very entertaining title, adding several new levels to the Angry Birds universe and, seemingly, adding more every week as by holding regular tournaments.
Angry Birds Friends Screenshot:
What's new in this version: (update Aug 20, 2015)

YA Contemp Recs?
I'm looking for some recommendations for contemporary YA — but not just anything — I'd like reading recs for books along these lines:
- Jellicoe Road, Melina Marchetta (one of my all time favorites)
- Story of a Girl, Sara Zarr (just reread it and so good!)
- You Against Me, Jenny Downham (just read this — terrific stuff)
- The Sky Is Everywhere, Jandy Nelson (because it's Jandy and she has so much heart)
- Jumping Off Swings, Jo Knowles (because it's Jo and she has so much heart)
Sensing a theme here?
The reason?
There's a novel I've been waiting to write — it's actually the book that sent me to grad school — and my head is really in that space right now. I tried writing and rewriting it multiple times, and I kept getting stuck, and I realized I simply didn't have the skills to write this book.
So I went to grad school. And I put it away. And I wrote another novel.
Whenever I took a break from my WIP, I kept playing with The Other Book to see if I could find a form that fit. The two novels are completely different — one's a genre piece, the other is contemporary YA — so each serves as a break from the other. I started to re-imagine The Other Book, keeping the central characters and relationship but changing everything else — what happens, where it happens, how the characters respond. The pieces fit together very slowly, from changing the setting to the time frame to the time of year to the main character's family to her passions and fears.
Now that I'm at the point of polishing Novel 1, I'm diving into Novel 2. This week, I outlined the whole thing, which is unusual. I usually don't outline until I've written at least 70-80 pages, and I only have about 15 pages of a draft. I know the outline will evolve as I write, but there's an initial balance between the various arcs and threads and a distinct voice, and I'm excited and relieved to finally have a complete story in my head.
So… I know some people can't read what they're trying to write, and I normally can't either, but I've been so immersed in genre fiction that I'd like to spend some time digging into contemporary YA. Any recommendations? Favorites? Also, I'd specifically like novel recommendations, not verse novels, because I'm looking at structure and movement and verse novels have entirely different pacing.
Many thanks.

Bohemian Betyars New Album Preview At A38
If you are in Budapest this weekend, you are in luck!
A very special exclusive sneak peak at the new album by Bohemian Betyars, the Hungarian folk "punk" dance mash up band that is storming the country at full force, and has been for quite some time.
Originally from the famously ghetto city of Miskolc, these fine folks have managed to get around quite well, touring in every country in Europe, and making it all the way to the pacific ocean as well! A one of a kind band, drawing from very diverse influences- you can hear the Boban Markovich Orchestra influence quite clearly, but mixed with good pop and dance music as well as lighter punk rock like the Misfits or the Sex Pistols.
The event is also special because of the venue.
Named the best venue in the world for 2012, the A38 boat truly is a marvel. It is huge, it sounds great, and you have more than one stage at any given night, and this event will be held on the deck of the enormous ship, which has the cutest little bar. A good friend will be doing sound, so expect greatness!

Not all of you have been listening weekly for three years (probably... maybe) so by extension, not all of you know how we got here and what we lived through before we discovered these lifestyles we lead.
So I'm Dylan, and I'm telling you my story, now. It's long, I spend the first ten minutes talking about pubescent erections but it all leads somewhere, and if you're interested... I'll take you on my little journey through the dark ages of my own sexuality and into my non-monogamy.

Parenting when you're a swinger or a polyamorist isn't easy is most definitely not a topic that's well documented. Luckily Airial Clark has been picking up the slack! She joins us for a conversation on how to be a parent and straddle the line between too soon and not soon enough. We discuss the advantages and hurdles children may encounter when coming up against an aggressively monogamist society, and all in all, how to stay sex positive.

Anyway, We're back with questions about what to do about party invitations when you have a couple that breaks up, bringing up the cultivation of poly relationships with swinger friends, long distance relationships, partners leaving the lifestyle and potentially their relationships, being and dealing with self-consciousness about cock performance and size, the "genderless", the difference between healthy and unhealthy swinger relationships, and...
Equality in freedom to explore.

When the newly elected and re-elected MPs met for the first time following the 2015 General Election, John Bercow was re-elected (unopposed) as Speaker of the House of Commons. Having survived an attempt by the Conservatives to make it easier to oust him in the dying hours of the last Parliament. Bercow told MPs in his speech following his re-election that he would be the "champion of backbenchers" from all parties, and would hold the government "properly to account".
The first act of the new Parliament was not without its drama however, as SNP MPs spent their day on a rota securing front bench positions for the proceedings, whilst trying, but failing, to steal the favoured seat of the Beast of Bolsover, Dennis Skinner. The Liberal Democrats were almost forgotten about during congratulatory speeches, with Alistair Carmichael, the party's only Scottish MP, having to wait to speak after their now fellow smaller parties.
From the Human Rights Act to protecting Trident, we've collated everything you need to know about the new Government's top 20 policy priorities in this 2 page handout.

Every time we have a demo, the person who plays the Steamhand seems to particularly enjoy our sample heavy weapon, the Steamthrower. Perhaps it's the cone template - the chance to target multiple enemies and force them to leap out of the way. For whatever reason, it is a weapon that always seems to satisfy. From the book:
Steamhands have a healthy respect for the dangers that steam poses in its normal use, so it must have been a particularly malicious individual who decided to turn the steam itself into a weapon. The weapon is fairly simple, little more than a hose nozzle attached to a steam tank. It is difficult to aim, but aiming is beside the point. It can be devastating to charging infantry, and typically panics even the most sturdy cavalry horse. The steamthrower does no useful damage against any kind of machinery, although it could reasonably be used to clean a road-worn automaton.
In game terms, the steamthrower works exactly like a flamethrower. (See Savage Worlds Deluxe, p. 51.) The lower damage is due to the fact that steam has a lower temperature than flame and dissipates more quickly. Also, there is no chance for affected targets to catch fire.

Francesca Kleanthous came to teaching yoga after 12 years in Public Relations (PR) for a number of leading advertising companies such as Lowe Lintas and McCann Erickson. She shares the actionable tips of how her professional background has helped to build her yoga teaching business.
Francesca's PR work led her to become involved in the Special Olympics, little did she know this would lead to a new phase in her life. After some time, she decided that her heart was no longer in the corporate world so she gained a degree in Special Education. During this time Francesca's experiences working with some amazing children completely reshaped her way of thinking and after building up her yoga teaching experience, including with some special needs children, she jumped straight into the yoga franchise business Yogabugs.
10 years later she runs the South East & South West London areas under the Yogabugs umbrella. With classes in over 50 schools and nurseries in the area and team of 9 teachers, they are are spreading the word and our ethos to 1000s of children.
Francesca's personal company, Sound of Yoga (SoYoga), covers her private adult and children classes, special needs classes and retreats abroad. They run 3-4 retreats every year mainly in Europe and the UK, including their successful parent and child yoga retreats.
You can connect with Francesca through Sound of Yoga (SoYoga), Facebook and Instagram.
What did you learn in your corporate career that has helped you in your yoga teaching business?
PR is all about creating a positive public image and relationships with other bodies. When I started YogaBugs and SoYoga I knew that the competition was high and somehow I needed to make space for myself. So the first thing I set out to do and still do is make sure that the relationships I have with my clients comes first. I make sure that the experience they have with both companies is positive. Over the years I have gained a number of new nurseries and schools just through recommendations from other schools and that is one of the most rewarding feelings, when you get a call out of the blue from a new establishment that has been recommended to you. I have also been very fortunate with my private 1:1 clients. I have never really advertised as all the clients now have come through recommendations and that is when you realise how important PR and relationships really are.
What are your advertising / PR type practical tips that a new or recently qualified yoga teacher can implement to help boost their ability to attract & retain students?
In this day and age when everything is readily available and when we have so much choice it's the little things that make the big difference. I think the main reason SoYoga and YogaBugs has been so successful is because I drew from my PR background from the beginning and treated every client the way I would love to be treated. They are not just another client but they are all special. Every school and nursery will receive Xmas gifts personally wrapped and taken by myself to each school and nursery. Welcome back to school cards, Easter eggs or something symbolic. You need to have a budget set aside specifically for these occasions.
With my private clients I make sure that as well as getting the tailor made yoga classes that each individual needs, they also know how much I respect and cherish their business and dedication. As I said it's the little things that count i.e at Christmas they all receive home made xmas cookies wrapped and decorated. It's not the expense,it's the fact I spent my time to prepare and make and wrap these special little gifts. At our yoga retreats we make sure that the experiences are over and above the normal yoga retreats offering special little touches and gifts to take away with them.
It's hard work sometimes and time consuming but the proof that it works is the repeat customers I have on all my retreats as well as schools and nurseries, the recommendations I receive and the loyalty. I have customers that started 10 years ago and we are still learning and growing together.
My biggest tip is be yourself, enjoy what you are doing and don't take yourself too seriously. A smile and a positive outlook is much more important than any extra or freebie you can offer. Not everyone you teach will be on the same wavelength so you need to be able to offer them an experience and allow each and every one of them to extract whatever it is they feel they need or are ready to take.
As an entrepreneur, what are your favourite resources?
After 12 years in PR I became Anthony Robbins' Logistics Manager for Europe which provided me with a good dose of personal development and tools to work with; I have an extensive library from that time of my life. I also follow websites like Elephant Journal, The Yoga Lunch Box and Yoga International. A book that I absolutely loved and would highly recommend is "How Yoga Works" by Geshe Michael Roach and Christie McNally.
I love reading about people's personal experiences and how circumstances have helped them change, evolve and also sometimes the courage and pure determination you need to succeed or just survive so another great book was "Warrior Pose: A War Correspondent's Memoir" by Brad Willis aka Bhava Ram.
I also love searching the internet sometimes with just a word, thought or concept in mind and then having the opportunity to read everything that comes up.
How has your personal yoga practice helped you as an entrepreneur?
People that try and sell something that they have never experienced is like being a chef and not trying your own food. I always try and get to as many workshops and classes I can, always experimenting with different styles, teachers and locations. And as such, this year I had the opportunity to travel to India and being able to immerse myself completely into a country, culture and lifestyle was a big eye opener and I have to admit it changed my perception on a number of things.
Just being able to have a yoga mat open and ready in my room at home offers me the the opportunity to retire to that space whenever I feel the need either physically or mentally. It's a place that will provide me with the peace and grounding I may need, or the energy and the inspiration. Although my cat has also taken to retiring to my mat, we normally manage to accommodate each other's schedules!
TPOY's takeaways:
It pays dividends to build good personal relationships with your customers and clients. What can you do that's a little different that either adds value to their experience with you or shows that you see them as humans rather than just customers?
